If you want to know how to get toSesame Street— or Broadway — you could askJill Biden.
While in New York City this week to tape segments for the upcoming season of the classic kids' show, the first lady and a group of friends caught a performance ofSix, a musical about the wives of King Henry VIII told with a pop-music twist, at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.
“The Queen herself @FLOTUS has officially joined the #Queendom! Consider our heads lost,” theproduction tweeted.
“Elmo had such a great time with @FLOTUS and Elmo’s puppy Tango today!“the Muppet tweeted Wednesday. “Elmo thinks we should have a doggy play-date with you and Commander someday!”
Thefirst lady replied: “Thank you for welcoming me to the neighborhood, Elmo! Commander and I are ready for a game of fetch on the South Lawn anytime!”

Biden was at the show last July, when she met up with another Muppet friend Rosita, a turquoise cave monster who speaks Spanish and English and whose father served in the military.
Having a servicemember in the family is one thing Biden and Rosita, 5, have in common.They’re also both “upstanders.”
In July, Rosita told Dr. Biden about her father, Ricardo. “I am so proud that I have a Papi who serves in the military,” she said.
PresidentJoe Biden’s late son,Beau Biden, joined the military in 2003 as a member of the Delaware Army National Guard and as a major in the Judge Advocate General Corps. In 2008, his unit was deployed in Iraq, and he served in active duty overseas until September 2009.

The White House said Dr. Biden’s latest appearance on the show is in connection withSesame Workshop’ssocial impactandmilitary families initiatives, so she and Rosita might just meet up again.
Since Barbara Bush, every first lady has appeared on Sesame Street with the exception ofMelania Trump, according toUSA Today.
Dr. Biden and former First LadyMichelle Obamamade a joint appearance with Elmo and Rosita in 2011.
